What god did we anger to have to endure these temperatures?

Terminator: Resistance is a super fun AA shooter that we don’t get enough of anymore. People say good things about RoboCop and that will probably be my next pick up.

This has potential, no?

When I picked up Far Cry 5 I imagined that I would be most put off by the gameplay the most. Since the sameness of Ubisoft games is the only thing I ever read about. I ended up being just very annoyed at the story. straynotes.xyz/notes/far-cr...

Far Cry 5

Some thoughts on Far Cry 5 after a decade long break from playing Ubisoft games. Spoiler warning!

Even with Steam dominating and physical media having been dead on PC for a long time. The openness of the platform itself allows things to be less dire than an PlayStation ecosystem without physical media.

You should play Citizen Sleeper.

After having gone all my life using headphones at my PC, I have heard the light. Speakers are great.

Is it AI psychosis if I see the numbers Ed Zitron released and think "oh, that’s not as bad as I thought?"

I have been following Apples dislike for the EU‘s DMA for a while now. Their communication is interesting. Very … aggressive? Not how companies usually express disdain. The arguments around why Siri AI needs to be delayed in the EU felt sloppier than most. straynotes.xyz/blog/siri-ai...

Whenever I write anything I get hit by this wave of uncertainty. Like no matter how much time I spend thinking, researching, and writing could ever make me even somewhat certain that what I created was correct and good enough. Happening on this post right now. Love that for me.

I am not sure what possessed me to click on a blog post with that title: it sounds a little like advocacy for "hustle culture". But James comes to this advice from an entirely different angle than I had expected and makes some decent points. jsomers.net/blog/speed-m...

After hitting 99 sailing with essentially only salvaging, I still want to max out some of my ships and see the other things sailing has to offer. Time to pray for some frost dragon tasks. #osrs #newskill #whyhellhoundagainpleasestop

Coming up with good names for variables and functions is hard, but the final boss of naming things are css classes.

From everything I have seen Grace will make an awesome protagonist in RE9.

Nintendo's legal antics make them my least favorite video game company by far. Other companies make bad video games with awful monetazation schemes. Nintendo just isn't satisfied with this industry standard and sends their lawyers to make sure that everyone knows they are extra unlikeable.

Factorio teaches us that shitty, non-scalable designs are both fine and scale better than you think they would. #dev

The idea that you have to get more out of your free time than just enjoyment is incredibly destructive.

Now that they are metal dragon tasks and not steel dragon tasks, I feel obligated to do rune dragons. But steel dragons are so much more comfy 🙁 #osrs

When Apple fails with the iPhone Air they will go back to making minis, right? Right? I don’t have a backup plan for when my iPhone 13 mini gives up.

Working on cool ideas always sounds better in my head than it is in reality. Actually working means learning all the difficulties that come with it. It’s strange. I am further along than I was when it was just an idea in my head, but the goal seems further out.

Getting Python running in the browser through WASM is kinda cool. My dream would be combining it with Flask to create an interactive course in the browser. Just gotta find the time.
